| A Former Salisbury Lady Gives an |
Interesting Account of a Pleas-
ure Trip.
As a number of my friends have
written me, asking for a description of
my summer’s outing I will give it by the
editor’s permission, through the col-
umus of our dear old home paper,
whose visiis we are eager to receive. |
In July, 1902, Mr. Beachey and Mr.
Keim, in company with the manager of
the Chicago Lumber Co., of this place,
left Esbon by a northwesterly route to
the coast, leaving Robert with an as-
sistant in charge of the bank, and giv-
ing strict injunctions as to how daugh-
ter and Ishould take care of the home,
what to do in case of fire, to write
them every day, and all the preliminar-
ies of a man’s departure from home.
Thinking we would be good, they left
in the best of spirits. But as you
‘know, “The best 1aid schemes o’ mice
and men gang aft aglee” When we |
fuund ourselves getting lonely we de-
cided fo forget our obligations and go |
to meet them, and on the evening of |
August 1st we donned our best bibs |
and tuckers and bid Esbon friends |
adieu to hie for the mountains in pur-
suit of health and pleasure. The latter |
we were certain to have, we thought ,as
we boarded the train and found some
very genial ladies who were also pleas-
ure seekers, and bound as we were for
Colorado Springs and Manitou.
We mused long upon the way, as the
train was four hours late in entering
Colorado Springs. The sights were
new, and the sage brush was dotted
here and there o’er the fields, as we
neared for the first time the stupendous
peaks of the Rockies. How bold, and
almost bare, they looked in comparison
to those of the Alleghenies, which in’
summer are covered with beautiful
verdure.
We are now along tbe foot hills of
Pike’s Peak, and the distance, though
six miles away, appears like a ten-
minutes walk. On entering the city,
and in view of the depot, your eyes
rest upon the magnificent Antlers ho-
tel, of which you have all heard. Tt is
restful to the eye to gaze upen that
lawn, and saunter under the shade of
the beautiful trees, and view the How-
ers. Every specie of cacti and palm
known to the writer is seen upon the
court.
We spent bat a few days in this
beautiful city, as we wanted to enjoy
lige-giving ozone of the mountains, and
drink the draughts from the famous
springs at Manitou. Here are the Ute
Iron springs, the Soda and Sulphur
springs within a radius of one mile. We
queried a physician as to which would
be most beneficial to drink. Though
not ill, we felt in a few weeks so im-
proved, and a renewed, sublime, invig-
orated tingle in our veins which per-
fect health alone affords. How thank-
ful we should be that we have in our
country, climate and water where
thousands of invalids go and are heal-
ed of the many dire diseases that in-
fest the human body!
Another pleasant feature in the TU.
S. A., where ever you may go, you find
plenty of people who speak the English
language. In all other countries, T am
told, if you travel a hundred miles, or
even less, you will find different lan-
guages or dialects spoken.
On our first day at Manitou after be-
being comfortably domiciled beside a
winding stream along a steep moun-
tain, we heard among the peels of
thunder a terrible crash and cracking
of timber amidst shrieks and cries, and
on looking out the window where we
had full view, we saw what looked like
an avalanche, for there had been a
cloud burst up the stream about ten
miles. The water sweeping everything
in the way, soon filled the narrow
banks of the stream to overflowing,
our lives the horrors a flood brings. A
few person, horses and carriages were
overtaken by the flood, but rescued
without loss of life. Others who were
tenting along the stream fled for their
lives. Many houses were flooded and
the bath houses demolished for the sea-
son, and it took weeks te remove the
debris from the parks and river banks.
We found the rambles around Mani-
tou remarkably varied and of never-
failing interest and attraction. I will
note a few of them. The first of which
was our visit to Cheyenne Canon,
which impressed us as being the grand-
est natural scenery ever witnessed.
After driving some distance you view
the Seven Falls. Here you make an
ascent of 420 steps on a narrow stair-
way, from which you can view the spot
where Helen Hunt received inspiration
in her writings, and where she request-
ed her remains should be placed. Her
husband having since had them re-
moved, there remains only a pile of
stones to mark the spot.
WONDERS OF THE MOUNTAINS. | Williams Canon,is a most picturesque tirely different, and with th
. interesting gorge sand contains |
and
a number of curious caverns, the most
| wonderful of these being the Cave of
I the Winds.
There are guides in readi-
ness with lights to show you all points
of interest. One that I now recall, and
| there are many more, was the Bridal
y 3
Chamber. The entire room was of
crystal-like formation, and the bride in
veil, plain to be seen. There were also
stalactites, which, when struck, sound-
ed like some sweet unknown instru-
ment.
As we neared the Garden of the Gods,
we tired of the drives, and seeing so
many ladies, regardless of age, riding
merrily along on the burros,we thought
our experience would be incomplete
without a ride on one of these Colora-
do climbers, so we donned the Mexican
hats and duck skirts and rode merily
on with the guide and others in the
party. One could see plainly objects
in the rock which the guide pointed
| out, rocks that were mushroom shaped,
bear and seal rock, cathedral spires 500
feet high, and many other objects.
At the noted Balanced Rock we urg-
| ed the burros up the steps, and seated
on these graceful animals, our beauti-
ful portraits are brought to view. Suf-
fice it to say we were delivered on our
return trip safely, but soundly brusied,
and would not take a great deal forour
experience. ;
I will say nothing of Pike’s Peak, as
every school girl and boy knows some-
thing of that and its weird scenic at-
tractions. I'now bid adieu to scenes
and friends in Manitou, as my husband
has made his return trip to Salt Lake
City, Utah, where he wired me to meet
him. Daughter and her husband spent
a few weeks together in Manitou, and
then returned from a very enjoyable
and interesting trip, having learned
what they could never have learned
from books.
On my trip to Salt Lake I beheld
towering monuments of solid stone,and
I sat gazing in wonder and admiration
at the matchless panorama afforded by
rocky wall and rushing river along
these wnoderful canons. The greatest
wonder to the traveler is The Moun-
tain of the Holy Cross. A perfect
cross rising high above all din of earth-
ly strife, a snow white banner of the
Christian faith.where lier eternal snow.
Rising high above those about it, it
truly appears “a sign set in the heav-
ens.”
At the sight of The Royal Gorge my
imagination was staggered, and my
mind unable to comprehend the sub-
limity of the scene.
Glenwood Springs is a delightful
health resort where over one million
dollars have been spent on the grounds.
The water in the Hot Springs is as salt
as the ocean.
Many other noted points were pass-
ed, but I hasten through the desert,
passing by the great sand mounds that
resembled mountains, and enter into
the city that was once the den of Mor-
monism, the place where once no one
save the “meek and lowly followers” of
the prophets Joseph Smith, and Brig-
ham Young. could utter a word against
their religion, without having their
lives placed in jeopardy. Now, spires
from Christian churches throughout the
city greet you. Here in Salt Lake the
joy that filled my heart, and the warm
embrace received on meeting my own
kinsfolk—our nephew, District Attor-
ney Eichnor, his wife, little daughter
and son—was one of my most happy re-
alizations. She and her sister, Mrs.
Dryden, left my side in Salisbury, in
childhood, when I almost worshipped
them and their little brother Chris,
who died a few years ago. No time
was lost by the Eichnors to show us
the sights in and about this beautiful
“city of trees.”
One of the first sights, of course, was
to show the Temple and great Taber-
nacle, built by Brigham Young. Inthe
Tabernacle we saw the beautiful grand
daughter, who is being educated
abroad, and heard her sing a number
of very fine solos. Also saw his third
wife, Lucy Young. This recital was
given in honor of the Elks, who were
holding their carnival in the city at
that time. Another was given in honor
of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. The
Indians seemed to enjoy it, showing
greatest respeet and appreciation.
Among ‘the. houses built by Brigham
Young for his many wives were the
Bee Hive, the Lyon House and Amelia
Palace, built for his favorite wife, and
named for her,
We enjoyed the baths in the Great
Salt Lake very much, and as the water
is strong enough to carry a potato, we
had no trouble learning to float, and
the baths are very invigorating. Train-
loads of people come and go from there
continually. Another noted place is
the Warm Spring bath house, where
the water flows out the mountain too
hot for the touch. This water is en-
of salt and pepper tastes similar to
chicken broth.

e a NOTICE!
| Fort Douglas being a delightful trol- | A Change in Business at The Star
ley ride from the city, we paid frequent
| visits to that point and viewed with |
pride the boys in blue unfurl the Stars
and Stripes and witness the sham bat-
tles they fought.
After visiting numbers
pleasant points, we went to Logan
Utah, to visit our nephew, Prof. James
Dryden, wife-and children, who visited
summer of 1901. Prof. Dryden has
charge of the different departments of
the State Agricultural College in that
place. They teach everything, even
down to the culinary art, where I be-
lieve I was most interested. They
raise fine crops by the irrigation sys-
tem, and the sugar beet industry is
fast growing in favor. It is a very
rich valley indeed.
We spent a number of very pleasant
days picnicing in the canons along the
fresh water streams, fishing for trout,
and building camp fires, and listening
to the huntsman’s’story of adventure
with mountain lions, ete. Having
groups of the different picnics, with
the tables groaning with fried chicken,
roast duck and luscious fruits, to say
nothing of the deligntful scenery,brings
it all vividly before us.
Prof. Dryden entertained our party
and 6thers at his home one evening by
showing numbers of stereopticon views,
many of which. were taken from col-
lege life, among professors and stu-
dents. which made it very interesting,
and to our surprise also produced our
recent escapades in a very funny man-
ner, as he is known as the “Bill Nye”
of the college.
We were invited by Mr. Don Magnoir
and wife, of Ogden, the state minerolo-
gist,to accompany them to a gold mine
in which they were interested. We
climbed for miles up the mountain,
along the cliffs and great basins, hear-
ing the eaglets in their nests, passed
the raw places of the great snow slides,
at last arriving at the opening of the
mine, where there was said to be seven
hundred feet of mountain over our
heads. We took the pick from the
swarthy hands of the miners and dug
our own specimens for souvenirs. The
miners were very genial, whole-souled
fellows, and we were invited to dine in
camp with them, so spread our lunch
with their delicious hot bread and fine
coffee and tea. It was a case where
meat fried at the edges till it curled
needed but one sauce—hunger.
We learned the fascination of pros-
pecting as we climbed along, picking
the various stones from the hills, with
their properties of gold, copper, silver
and lead. I feel quite proud of the
number of rubies, topaz and chlorn-
talites presented me on that trip.
After our descent from the mountain
we refreshed ourselves by a bath in the
rooms of the Great Hot Springs of Og-
den. The water is said to contain
enough salt to season a pot of meat or
potatoes perfectly, as it flows steaming
from the mountain.
The Mormon religion predominates
in Logan, as it is handed down to the
posterity of the old settlers. But we
felt to rejoice all the more when we
saw ’midst the struggles of the Chris-
tian people that they succeeded in erect-
ing a handsome protestant <hurch, in
which my dear departed sister worship-
ped Sabbath after Sabbath. To worship
there with the loved ones and sing the
same songs, her favorites, filled my
soul with something divinely sweet and
a joy unspeakable.
We were very much impressed with
the vastness of our country, its diversi-
ty of climate and scenery, as well as
its almost fabulous wealth. In the
glory of the scenes we seemed to find,
“Books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones,
And good in everything.”
The Eichnors and Drydens did every-
thing in their zeal to make our visit a
plea sure long to be remembered.
On our return trip we viewed with in-
terest the beautiful city of Denver, and
lo, as the Queen of Sheba said to the
“Wise Man,” “the half has not been
told.” MRgs. MivToN J. BEACHY.

Breaking into a blazzing home, some

18:
Mr. T. R. Sufall, who has been in our
| employ for nearly five years, has de-
cided to move to Meyersdale, and much
of our time has been spent, this week,
looking up a man to take his place at
our type cases. Owing to our absence,
the paper had to be neglected. We
Zish further to state that we have not
yet succeeded in finding a suitable
man, but expect to have one in the
very near future. However, we may
be compelled to get out the paper all
alone during the next few weeks, and
in that event the local news depart-
ment may have to be almost entirely
abandoned, as the best we can possibly
do without additional help will be to
{ handle our advertising and job print-
ing and practically fill our paper with
plate matter supplied by the American
Press Association.
Such vexations as above set forth
sometimes come to all country publish-
ers, and we trust that our many good
friends and patrons will bear with us
and excuse all shortcomings of the pa-
per until such time as we can secure
the necessary help in our mechanical
department. The present state of af-
fairs will not be permitted to exist a
day longer than necessary, and we ex-
pect soon to be in a position to give our
readers a better paper thau ever.

A Thanksgiving Dinner.
Heavy eating is usually the first
cause of idigestion. Repeated attacks
inflame the mucuos membrances lining
the stomach, exposes the nerves of the
stomach, producing a swelling after
eating, heartburn, headache, sour ris-
ings and finally catarrh of the stomach,
Kodol relieves the inflammation, pro-
tects the nerves and cures the catarrh.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all
stomach troubles by cleansing and
sweetening the glands of the stomach.

New Somerset County Maps.
We have at Tue Star office a large
supply of the splendid new map of Som-
erset county recently compiled and
published by Captain Wm. M. Schrock,
of Somerset, and Mr. Staniford, of New
York City. These maps show all the
new towns and townships, all the rail-
roads, county roads, streams, postof-
fices, ete., in Somerset county, and no
one can afford to be without one. They
are just what the people of Somerset
county have long been clamoring for.
We have the pocket size as well as the
wall maps, and prices range from only
50 cents to $2.00. Persons who have
already ‘ordered maps from us can now
get them at Tue Star office. tf
Journalistie.
Hon. A. F. Cooper, congressman-elect
from the Somerset (Pa.) district, wrote
a letter of thanks to L. A. Smith, editor
of the Meyersdale Commercial, for “the
very effective work” done for him by
that paper. In faet, “no paper was
quoted so frequently by the other news-
papers as was the Commercial,” This
testimonial would seem to establish
Smith’s paper as an organ without a
peer in Cooper’s jurisdiction in spite of
both Meyersdale and Salisbury de-
nouncements. Or probably it is a
way Mr. Cooper has of saying the oth-
ers are only newspapers.—Frostburg
Mining Journal.
A candidate is usually thankful for
all the help he can get, no matter from
what source it comes. But the Com-
mercial is not the only paper that re-
ceived a nice letter filled with thanks
and compliments from Mr. Cooper.
THE STAR got one, too, and so did the
other Republican papers of the coun-
ty; but it is so seldom that Lou Smith
gets a compliment from an honorable
man that he had to preach it from the
housetop as soon as he got Mr. Coop-
er’s letter. The rest of us were more
modest, yet just as appreciative, and
we also congratulate Mr. Smith on the
fact that he had sense enough to sup-
port at least a portion of the Republi-
can ticket.
One Minute Cough Cure
is the only harmless cough cure that
gives quick relief. Cures coughs, colds,
croup, brochitis, whooping cough, pneu-
monia, asthma, la grippe and all throat,
chest and lung troubles. I got soaked
by rain, says Gertrude E. Ferner, Mun-
cie, Ind., and contracted a severe cold
and cough. I failed rapidly ; lost 48
lbs. My druggist recommended One
Minute Cough Cure. The first bottle
brought relief; several cured me. I
am back to my old weight, 48 1hs. One
Minute Cough Cure cuts the phlegm,
relieves the cough at once, draws out
inflammation, cures croup. An ideal
remedy for children. E. H. Miller.
